Week of August 24th

We had another great week at Oxford University School. We have students gaining knowledge and trips to supplement that knowledge. I appreciate all the cooperation that was given this week. We are working on basic skills and reviewing from last year, which takes practice. Please contact me at adavis@ouschool.com with any concerns or questions. I check my email several times a day, so I will email you as soon as possible. Thanks again for your continued cooperation and we are going to make this school year a spectacular one.

Coming Up . . . .
September 11, 2009, we will be going to the Hummingbird Tour at Strawberry Plains. The cost is $7.00 and we will be having lunch there. $10.00 should cover the cost of a veggie burger or hamburger and a drink. This will be a great time for your student to enjoy nature and the flight of hummingbirds.

Field Trip
We are going to the University Museum to see the “wave” expo. We will be leaving after lunch and PE on Wednesday, August 26, 2009. We will return to school for dismissal.
